Haven't they not made a good game since Dungeon Siege 2? And weren't they the team behind the most poorly thought out game (that actually went through launch) of all time, Demigod?

So? Gotta get a job to pay the billz, and if these people are willing to hire you and pay a good wage, why does it matter if they're not an AAA developer? Also, a company that hasn't had a stellar record, likely has more opportunities for advancement, compared to Blizzard for example.

Getting a job in the industry, getting your foot in the door, is often the hardest part. Stay where you are for 2-3 years, if you don't like it, look for pastures greener.

I stand by an earlier comment in this thread, though, that games development definitely wouldn't be my sector of choice in the industry. You get to do some cutting-edge stuff, but working conditions and especially job security are often poor, and often underpaid for the actual technical skill required to get the job done. But again, if you've got a half-degree from Digipen, getting your foot in the door for any professional job ain't going to be a cakewalk.
